German guitarist and composer, co-founder of Neu! and author of influential solo albums blending motorik rhythms, guitar melodies, and synthesizers.

Co-founder of the band Neu! with Klaus Dinger; worked with drummer Jaki Liebezeit and producer Conny Plank on solo recordings; was briefly associated with early Kraftwerk lineups; solo output from the late 1970s onward is noted for motorik rhythms, repeating motifs, and guitar-synth textures.

The reviews praise Michael Rother's solo works for their motorik rhythms, repeating motifs, and shimmering guitar-synth atmospheres. His late-1970s solo albums are seen as cohesive, melodic, and quietly visionary. Live material highlights his restrained stage presence and effective use of electronics and collaborators.

For:Fans of krautrock, motorik, ambient and experimental electronic music; listeners of guitar-led instrumental albums.

 Flammende Herzen marks the solo debut of Michael Rother after his split with Dinger from NEU! due to the different ideas that emerged from NEU!75.

 Given that concerts by such important figures in the history of music should not be criticized but only recounted, I am about to talk about what I think of the Hallogallo, or Michael Rother + Friends.
